Posting timing
This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +79% | +73% to +85% | 5.8K |
| Outbound link | 3% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.1K |
| Typical length | - | +13% | +10% to +15% | 6.4K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 3% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 1250 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 13% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

For him, policing is more than a professionβit is a calling rooted in service, integrity and faith. Born and raised in Nyeri County, S/Sgt Maigua joined the National Police Service on 30 August 1989. He underwent his basic recruit training at the National Police College, Embakasi 'A' Campus, formerly the Administration Police Training College (APTC), before embarking on a journey that would span 37 years of dedicated public service. His first deployment took him to Wajir County in the North Eastern Region in 1990, where he served for eight years under challenging conditions. He would later serve in Laikipia, Nandi and several other parts of the country, steadily building a reputation as a dependable and disciplined officer committed to safeguarding lives and property. Currently, S/Sgt Maigua serves as the Officer Commanding Mwireri Police Post, a constituent post under Umande Police Station in Laikipia East Sub-County, Laikipia County. His experience has seen him handle a wide range of cases, including theft, assault and defilement, while fostering strong partnerships with the local community through community policing initiatives. "The greatest reward in this profession is seeing people live peacefully and knowing that you have played a part in keeping them safe," says S/Sgt Maigua. Throughout his career, he has risen from the rank of Police Constable to Senior Sergeantβa journey defined by resilience, discipline, professionalism and an unwavering commitment to duty. Remarkably, he has maintained an exemplary service record throughout his career. Away from the uniform, S/Sgt Maigua is a devoted husband and father, and a committed member of the Akurinu Christian faith. His white turban, a symbol of purity and dedication to God, reflects a faith that has remained central to his life and service. "My faith reminds me to serve with humility, honesty and compassion. Every day I wear this uniform, I remember that I am accountable both to God and to the people I serve," he reflects. Colleagues describe him as calm, approachable and deeply committed to mentoring younger officers. His wealth of experience, coupled with his humility, has earned him the respect of both fellow officers and members of the public. As he marks 37 years of distinguished service, S/Sgt Maigua continues to demonstrate that true leadership is measured not only by rank but also by consistency, integrity and selfless service to others. The National Police Service proudly celebrates S/Sgt Joseph Maigua for his remarkable dedication, resilience and professionalism. His journey stands as a powerful reminder that behind every police uniform is a servant whose commitment and sacrifice help build safer communities and inspire future generations of police officers.

The session focused on the critical role of communication in modern policing and the responsibility that comes with being a member of the Service, both on and offline. The recruits were reminded that, while they may maintain personal social-media accounts, they must exercise professionalism and discretion in what they post, share, comment on, or livestream. The Director emphasised the need to protect operational information, the privacy and dignity of victims and suspects, and the integrity of ongoing investigations. He cautioned the recruits against sharing crime-scene images, confidential Service information, operational plans, sensitive incidents, or inappropriate content while in uniform, noting that a police officer's digital footprint can have a direct bearing on public confidence in the National Police Service. The recruits were further encouraged to use social media positively to support community policing, public education, and the dissemination of verified information through authorised NPS communication channels. The Director urged the recruits to "think before you post", reminding them that every police officer is a communications ambassador whose conduct, both online and offline, should reflect the dignity, discipline, and professionalism expected of the National Police Service. As they prepare to begin their careers in the Service, the recruits were reminded that their badge represents responsibility, their conduct represents character, and their communication represents professionalism. Also present during the sensitisation were the College Chief Instructor, Mr. Humphrey Abai, CP; the Director of the School of Basic Training, Mr. Fredrick Konya, CP; and other senior officers.

The Inspector General of the National Police Service, Mr. Douglas Kanja, today, 13th August 2026, joined His Excellency Dr. William Samoei Ruto, C.G.H., President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, during the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) Recruits' Passing-Out Parade held at the Recruits Training School (RTS) in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County. Speaking at the event, the President congratulated the graduands on successfully completing their training, urging them to take on their duties with courage, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to service. The President further reminded the graduates of their constitutional mandate, calling upon them to uphold their responsibility to the nation as they contribute to building a prosperous country capable of guaranteeing every citizen a life of dignity. He emphasised that security and development are not competing priorities but two sides of the same foundation: security creates an environment in which development can thrive, while development, in turn, strengthens security. Addressing the evolving nature of security, the President noted that as the operational environment continues to change, the Kenya Defence Forces must be as adept in technology as they are in tactics, and as prepared to anticipate emerging threats as they are to respond to them. Also in attendance were the Cabinet Secretary for Defence, Hon. Soipan Tuya; Chief of the Defence Forces, General Charles Kahariri; the Governor of Uasin Gishu County, Dr. Jonathan Bii; national leaders; Service Commanders; and other dignitaries.
